▎ 摘　　要

Flip-chip ultraviolet light-emitting diodes based on self-assembled GaN/AlGaN nanocolumns have been fabricated, exploiting single-layer graphene not only as a growth substrate but also as a transparent conducting electrode. High crystalline quality of the nanocolumns is confirmed by detailed electron microscopy characterization, also showing the intrinsic GaN quantum disk in the active region of the nanocolumns. These features are further confirmed in the optical emission, where the absence of defect-related yellow emission and the presence of blue-shifted (from the usual 365 nm band gap emission of bulk wurtzite GaN) emission at similar to 350 nm, ascribed to quantum confinement and strain effects, are observed. Despite a noticeable graphene damage after the nanocolumn growth that causes high sheet resistance of graphene and high turn-on voltage, the proof of concept of single-layer graphene used as the transparent conducting substrate for a nanocolumn device is demonstrated. This study offers an alternative platform for the fabrication of next-generation nano-optoelectronic and electronic devices.
